"I heard that this skill was almost lost?"

When the outside world was full of hustle and bustle, Ni Bingyan led the film crew and quietly came to Huishui County, Guizhou Province, a Buyi village deep in the mountains.

The old man in front of him is surnamed Yang, and it is said that he was once one of the only two craftsmen in the world who mastered the art of sweetgum dyeing.

"Yeah! Liquidambar dyeing takes a long time, and requires a lot of skill from the craftsman. It was finally made. Compared with the materials printed and dyed in the factory, it is much more expensive, and there are fewer patterns and colors. People don't like it. If we love it, we won’t be able to make money. Young people can’t rely on this to support their families. They would rather go to the factory to make screws than learn this, so it’s almost lost~”

In the Diaojiao Building of the Yang family, at the entrance of the main room, the old man sat on a long bench, cheerfully facing the camera, and talked to her in a friendly manner, without the usual feeling of embarrassment that the old man in the mountains often felt.

Because this is not the first time he has recorded a program since sweetgum dyeing was designated as an intangible cultural heritage item.

Ni Bingyan sat on another long bench, turned her head slightly, and could see the golden camellia downstairs.

There is a strong fragrance of flowers in the air, and once you look up, you can see the mountains and mountains in the distance through the gap under the eaves.

This year is a warm winter.

A few days after New Year's Day, the north is still bleak, and there is already a breath of spring in Guizhou Province.

Between the two mountains, there are patches of golden rapeseed fields.

The flowers bloomed early this year, and these rapeseed flowers have been blooming one after another, but if they want to reach the full flowering period, they may have to wait until around the Lantern Festival.

"Nowadays, the industry is developed, manpower is greatly saved, and materials are abundant. In fact, people's lives are getting better and better. In the past, people could not wear new clothes all year round. Now, if they eat less than two bowls of noodles, they can buy a pure cotton T-shirt. , wear it for several years and it won’t break.”

With cheap and durable ready-made clothes in more styles and colors, who wants to buy cloth to make clothes?

Therefore, it is logical that traditional handicrafts are abandoned by the times.

Why doesn't the old man understand this truth?

But he laughs at himself that his craft is good, and it embarrasses him when others point it out.

Seeing that the old man was a little unhappy, Ni Bingyan chuckled:
"But now, you have found a new way out, haven't you? The good things passed down from the ancestors have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and there is a reason why they are worthwhile."

The old man's face softened, it was scratched to the itch.

"A new way out? Let's count it! Although it's not too wide, it's better than bringing it into a coffin."

"To be honest, before I came here, I saw someone on the Internet saying that the inheritance of sweetgum fragrance dyeing was almost broken. After I came here, I was a little surprised to find that the local development is actually not bad!"

"Hehe, it's still due to the lack of publicity. The inheritance is almost broken. It was many years ago, haha! I have taught dozens of apprentices in this training class! Now this skill belongs to intangible cultural heritage. With national protection and people who really like it, I believe it will not be lost in the future.”

"Grandpa Yang, in fact, I admire you very much. It must take a lot of determination to pass on the family skills for free."

Mr. Yang waved his hand: "Hey~ don't praise me so highly, I'm just poor and want to change. Now that the reputation of maple fragrance dyeing has spread, our products can also be sold. Not only my family's life has improved, but also People in this line of work can also support their families, for us ordinary people! This is the most important thing."

This little old man is so cute, Ni Bingyan couldn't help but chat with him for a long time.

In the end, she was going to the workshop to experience the process of making sweetgum dyeing. The old man even stood up tremblingly and sent them to the gate of the courtyard.

"The biggest difficulty for us now is not the problem of continuous inheritance, but to expand its influence, let more people know about it, like it, and are willing to buy and use it!"

The old man cherished this opportunity very much. In the end, he held Ni Bingyan's hand and thanked her a thousand times.

"Good boy, I know you are very famous, please do more publicity for us, if you can earn money at home, young people don't have to go out to work! Hey, people are getting old, and they miss children the most. I don't know which side he is on."

In the end, Ni Bingyan walked a long way, and when he turned around, he could still see Mr. Yang standing under the golden camellia tree wiping his tears.

Ni Bingyan sighed, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

"I admire Sister Guo more and more now. It's really amazing to be able to integrate traditional things into fashion and make old objects glow with new vitality."

The mountain road was not easy to walk. Ni Bingyan was carrying a travel backpack and was looking for someone to chat with while walking.

I was really depressed and panicked, and I urgently needed to talk to someone.

"Ahem, you are traveling alone now, you have to pretend that we don't exist."

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Pei Jin shivered.

Ni Bingyan was so angry that she stood with her hips on her hips, her eyes widened, and she looked at him in disbelief:
"Could it be that the camera has long legs? Normal people know that I have a team, right? Huh? Brother Biao and Sister Li, they don't say anything, you two can't ignore me, right?"

Good guy, if you travel alone, at least the Four King Kongs will be by your side.

I don't know how the audience felt when they saw this scene.

Duanmuli was helpless: "According to the rules, we are just tool people. We follow you to prevent accidents from happening. We will not interfere with your itinerary, nor can we provide you with unnecessary help."

"Hey, I'm in a panic, you have to talk to me!"

"What's there to panic about? Everything's getting better, isn't it?"

A group of people walked on the thin field ridge, with the first-blooming rapeseed flowers on both sides. Pei Jin controlled the drone to take many beautiful pictures, and gave her a close-up.

Not to mention, even if the big beauty is wearing a jacket that is convenient for hiking, the mountain will become graceful at this station.

A group of people walked through the trail and finally saw the car. After bumping for a long time, they came to the county and went straight to the sweet gum dyeing intangible cultural heritage workshop.

"Here you can experience traditional sweetgum dyeing, and it also supports various DIYs. I plan to draw a picture on the white cloth later, but I don't know how the finished product will be?"

Because she made an appointment in advance, this side knew that she would come to shoot the show, and the county thought of the miracle of Wutong County, and it had already been arranged.

Not only sent the best-looking craftsman with the sharpest mouth to explain to her, but also arranged the production scenes of each link for them to shoot.

The most exaggerated thing is that the county even sent cadres to meet the needs of the film crew at any time. I only hope that she can do a good job of publicity for this place.

In this case, after listening to the craftsman explain the trick, Ni Bingyan used a brush dipped in sweetgum mixed oil on the spot to draw a mountain village landscape with rapeseed flowers in full bloom.

"I saw a large sea of ​​rapeseed flowers in the mountains before, and I still can't forget it. There are also unique stilted buildings in the village. I also have to paint them and take them home as a souvenir when I go back."

This episode airs, presumably many people will come to see Rapeseed Flowers and Diaojiaolou.

When the master who taught her heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes with a smile:

"Our stilted building construction skills here are among the first batches to be selected as intangible cultural heritage! It's earlier than sweetgum dyeing. You are skillful, and the painting is really like it!"

Ni Bingyan really doesn't know this, after all, there are many intangible cultural heritage skills.

Someone wanted to watch intangible cultural heritage before, and the variety show arranged an episode.This variety show follows her heart, she can go wherever she wants, there is no main line, but each episode will have a theme.If something is wrong, local readers don't laugh at me.Because I have never been to Guizhou.I have never actually seen maple dye.Do you know what intangible cultural relics are around?
